The Duke coach was responding on a radio show to a question about remarks made by Rose during a recently aired ESPN documentary about Michigan’s Fab Five teams, which went to two Final Fours in the early 1990s.

Initially, Krzyzewski said he didn’t want to comment when asked about it on ESPN 1000 in Chicago, but he followed with his criticism.

“I just think that sometimes people say things to get attention so that they can sell their documentary,” Krzyzewski said. “Obviously, that was a poor choice of words and very insulting to everyone here at Duke but especially, not just our African-American players, but any African-American students.”

Krzyzewski called the Fab Five “good kids,” but he suggested they had nothing to show for it.

“They had a heck of a run, but they didn’t leave anything,” he said. “They didn’t establish anything there.”

The Fab Five lost the 1992 national title game to Duke then fell to North Carolina in the 1993 championship game. Eventually, Michigan forfeited its wins after it was revealed that some players, including star Chris Webber, had accepted money from a Michigan booster.

PRISON DATE SET IN PITINO CASE: The woman convicted of attempting to extort money from University of Louisville basketball Coach Rick Pitino has been ordered to report to prison in Florida next week.

James Faller of U.S. Justice Watch, which is part of Karen Cunagin Sypher’s legal team, said in an email yesterday that Sypher is to report next Wednesday to the federal prison at Marianna, Fla.

Sypher was sentenced in February to more than seven years in prison for extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. Prosecutors said she sought millions in cash, cars and a house from Pitino in 2009 to stay quiet about a tryst in a restaurant.

The 6-5, 200-pound Lee was the Bruins’ second-leading scorer with 13.1 points per game this season.

Williams, a 6-10, 260-pound center, averaged 16.9 points and 11.8 rebounds for the Terrapins this season.

KANSAS MIGHT PLAY USC IN WICHITA: Kansas could play USC this upcoming December in Wichita, Kan., and it would be a home game for the Trojans.

Kansas Coach Bill Self confirmed yesterday that USC has asked that the game be moved from Los Angeles to Wichita’s Intrust Arena, which seats about 15,000.

The two signed a home-and-home agreement last year. Kansas beat the Trojans 70-68 in Allen Fieldhouse last Dec. 18 and now owes a return game.

Jim Marchiony, KU’s associate athletic director, said the game will be in December.
